On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you prefer more up close and personal dogfights consider the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battle series and experience intense WWII aerial combat over famous battlefields such as Stalingrad, Moscow, Rhineland and Normandy. Fight in and against Russian, American, German, British warbirds such as the P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, Bf-109, FW-190, Spitfire, Hurricane and rugged IL-2 Sturmovik attack plane. You can also fly legendary SPADS, Fokkers and Camels in WWI dogfights over the trenches of WWI and discover your inner Red Baron! And all of this can be experienced in jaw dropping virtual reality!
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8. - Hry

More World War I dogfights as the people so demanded lol, hope you guys enjoyed, thanks for watching.
You da man !!!!
Do they load you up with a limited amount of ammunition on the British flying shooter or is it unlimited ammo?
@@kirkdurkadurka its limited ammo lol.
@@GrowlingSidewinder ah yeah I posted that earlier in ur video.
I like watching ur dogfights cus I can't till I get a new pc
Ummm Where's your real tail gunner??? why isn't longshot back there missing every shot????
" That's actually jesters grandfather" I'm dying bro
If Jester is under 60, more like great Grandfather.
At least Chester doesn't bail at the first sign of entering the Danger Zone.
@@CakePrincessCelestia Not having a parachute kinda helps in that regard.
@@CakePrincessCelestia Meh. What could you know about that? You're a magical, talking, sentient, intelligent (or supposedly so X-P), colourful pegasus mare.
What could you know about what air warfare was like for us humans, back in WW1?
Not having a parachute also drastically reduces one's chances of survival, you know.
Heck, even you pegs could use something like that, should you sprain a wing midflight or something.
@@Briselance Always have a chute hidden in the "Magical Mane of Holding" :D
Knowledge simply comes from reading, I mean, since I've read the first awesome Daring Do book, I'm an egghead ;)
For added realism you should take a couplespoons of castor oil and try and get through a flight
While sitting in front of a leaf blower.
@@michaelkneringer3194 And at that altitude, an air conditioner
Sitting on a whicker basket.
Ha i went to the same place 💩
@@michaelkneringer3194 😂😂😂
At 10:03 ("What's with Chester?") I really wanted you to look back and see him parachuting towards the ground haha
Ahahaha
That was the WWI English equivalent of punching out 😂
@@Dusther210 You're right - Chester had mentally disengaged from the dogfight. In his mind, he was home by the fire with tea and crumpets, and a bit of a castor oil issue.
@@FireflyMyLife Nah, he probably ran out of ammo. He had two Lewis guns on his Scarff ring, but you can't fit any extra ammo drums back there. You go through the ammo faster with the twin guns compared to the single mount, and its heavier which affects your climb and top speed, but the extra firepower is worth it in some cases. I usually take the twin guns if I'm going hunting, bombing targets deep behind the lines, or expecting trouble. I take the single if I need speed and climb, such as doing a photo recon mission.
@@gascan "you can't fit any extra ammo drums back there"
Actually, Chester the tail-gunner has some extra drum magazines available for him, near his seat, inside the plane.
A couple of fun facts: The pilots' bodies eventually acclimatised to the castor oil, but until they did so, the rookies were known as "treacle-bottoms." Also, anti-aircraft fire in WWI was known as "Archie." Friendly fire had white smoke, German archie had black smoke.
"That chaos.... How are those guys doing it every day?" - Well, look at Chester. You just go blank and lethargic. You shoot your gun until it is empty then sit down and stare at your mate without any comment. Day after day :P
I'm guessing they had nothing to compare their fight too .
To make vr even more realistic I suggest a large dose of exlax prior to booting up the game. Might as well get the full effect. 🙄
What is that
@@Thunderkorn medecin that makes you shit. alot.
Fun fact. I make sure to empty out before playing phasmophobia in VR. It can ah....motivate you.
Call sign shit pants lmao
@@devanhusmann9297 Skid marks
Your gunner has the "thousand-yard" stare of the shell-shocked.
Caster oil poopy pants
Another little fun "FML" aspect: many WW1 airplanes had a type of radiator built into the center of the top wing...channeling coolant through pipes to the motor, etc. So...if a bullet hit your exposed radiator...place directly over your head...well, you can imagine what a bursting/boiling/steaming radiator does in your face. Some planes also required pilots to manually pump oil around their own motors with a lever. Another thing to keep track of while trying not to die.
I still imagine it had to have been better than the trenches
holy hell what types of plane had the radiator snd what type had you pumping your own damn oil??
@@michaelwerkov3438 Most of them.
The gun jammed alot as well
That was issue of german planes; Albatros D.III and D.V, Pfalz D.III, Halberstadts, Hannovers, LVGs, Rumplers and Austria licence Oeffag D.III, and , they have radiators on top wing. Austrian Phönix D.I
Of course jester's grandfather won't make eye contact. He knows his grandson will be a coward and bail on you in the middle of a fight with a MIG.
This WWI content is really good, its really nice to see these planes flying like paper lol, the VR is really nice as well! Keep it up
Yep, keep tugging on that line, a kites only as good as the guy pulling the strings.
Jester's granfather: "I say, old bean! If you were flying any slower Charlie Chaplin would walk past us at a faster pace, wot wot?"
Grandpa Jester! You need to toss him dirtside and put Longshot back there. "Two morons and a Bristol..."
Chester is a real englishman: He is doing his Tee break as a real british does!
XDDD
(10:18 mins)
i thought he is sad coz he ran out of ammo or something.
@@bitkarek yee thats probably right
He's plotting the best moment to bail out
Thus instigating the great Jestering tradition
@@yuchungman yeee
So Bri'ish!
I’m gonna need to rebind all my il2 controls now, and that is 100% your fault. I hope you’re happy with yourself.
Oog
Hey, about the oil in the face. Whats even worse is, that oil gets super hot in the engine and when it spits out its basically smoking hot. I remember watching an episode of top gear, where they drove cars, that used ww2 and ww1 aircraft engines as power, and they were complaining about the burning oil in the face and eyes. absolutely brutal...
That's because these engines used what's called a total loss lubrication system, because of the poor quality of oil from the era, these engines were deliberately designed to lose oil as they were used so the engineers could keep them toped up with fresh oil. Usually the oil would get released from the valve train.
@@TheWestIsDead interesting. Thanks for the fun fact brother
Absolute comedy!! Chester, caster oil...I was cracking up the whole time. Well done chap...well done .
Chester is a man of steel - bullets flying all around and the pilot's been shot and Chester just sits there emotionless - even looks a little bored - I'm surprised he wasn't reading the newspaper!
After so many weeks in combat, and witnessing so much horror, Chester is no longer bothered with toughts of mortality. In fact, combat is as exciting to him, as a walk in the park.
Yeah Kool as a cucumber nerves of steel 😂
You are absolutely correct about that Caster Oil. One of my first flight instructors was a late entry (1917) pilot in the war (ww1) and bitterly had to deal with constant diarrhea unless they kept their face covered. He flew Nieuports
and Spads. Typically entered enemy air space at 10,000>12,000 feet. Also said they had Browning machine guns (30-06 round). Honestly I don't know.
did he ever engage an enemy
Fighter pilots wore scarves so they didn't rub their necks raw when constantly turning their heads searching for aircraft. That continued through WWII. That it kept oil off their faces in WWI was a bonus.
R2-D2 would be a tremendous improvement as your RIO over Chester.
F
Chester is a serious dude. He does NOT make eye contact, except when he is putting rounds on german kites. What a badass bruh chester is! 😎
Or in the tail of the plane.
@@jacobrzeszewski6527 Yes! Or that. At least he doesn't put rounds (or the barrel itself) into the pilots ass. I hope he doesn't. 😂
I love the storytelling on these WW I battles. Looking forward to see more great teamwork with Chester as the relationship grows.
This video reminds me a lot of The Blue Max board game I used to play back in the early to mid 90s with a group of friends. The F2B was fairly handy in the game - good stability, could almost turn as good as the triplanes, took heaps of heaps of damage and had twin Lewis Guns in the rear to keep enemies off the tail. The only downsides were the one gun up front (damage penalty on hits) and need to change magazines/limited ammo supplies on the tail guns. A very dangerous aircraft nonetheless.
If we had this game back then - not sure if there are any Red Dwarf fans here but we would never escaped this version of "Better Than Life" 😂
Great content GS, thanks for the memory of a somewhat nerdier previous life 👍🏼
The Bristol F2.B Fighter or simply Brisfit, was an absolute beast. The V12 it was fitted with made more than capable of holding its own against the later Central Powers aircraft, even the Fokker DVII
Really? No way!!!
Felt like "Wings" and "Hell's Angels" (except Jester's grandpa).
I guess longshot is gonna be the next f2b tail gunner…
He isn't much of a gunner on choppers (seen the 2 morons vids?)
Oh great idea, The Two Morons In WWI :D
Ok, this is my favorite era of aviation, the rawness of the ice-cold wind in your face clatter of the machineguns, and the smell of castor oil, I think is what appeals to me, no parachutes, you live or you die. keep'em coming, BTW I'd love to see ME 262 and F86.dogfight each other.
Never heard GS sound more Canadian hahaha "GIVE 'ER, JUST SEND IT BUDDY"
Chester on those tail guns is a menace to humanity
This is awesome, this is probably as close as you can get to real WWI aerial combat. it puts so many things into perspective about how hard it was and how daring the pilots were
Man this week has been a blessing from you. The first video this week got me to pull out the oculus and re install IL-2
Hahah Jester's Grandfather....
Chester: Congratulations Jester for becoming RIO in f 14 so tell me who’s your pilot in that f 14
Jester: Growling sidewinder
Chester: *Surprise pichaku face
I just recently discovered your content, and these WWI videos are by far my favorite!
I would love to buy all of this setup and dive right into it, but I think that might bring me one step closer to jumping off a building. 😀
Awesome footage. Loving those WW1 contets! Keep it doing this!
That was just my favourite Airfix model kits Dogfight Double from my youth brought to life 😊
I really thought Chester was going to do a "Henry Jones Sr." move, and blow your tail off lol. I think I am going to get Budenplatte, and Flying Circus based on your videos. This looks like tons of fun. I am not really interested in Stalingrad, but apparently I have to buy it in order to get the other two.
I'm sorry Indy....they got us" :)
@@GM-fh5jp Junia!! lol
It was a common idea among pilots of that era that it's important to be able to "smell your enemy" - and it was a reason why many of them were alienated by the idea of closed cockpits.
I love watching you play VR.
Man, Chester is really pissed at you. Probably coz you went inverted at 7:52 nearly killed him, luckily he had on glue boots so didn't fall out.
Hey Growling, came across your WWI, Flying circus thanks to you video's. Pick up a copy, Looking forward to the VR, running the G2. Looks like a lot of fun. Great video's sir
Keep posting these! Cant get enough of it
Yeah you and Chester need to have "THE TALK"!
Jester is too busy listening to "the only thing they fear is you" to pay attention to ya
Wow, VR adds so much realism to the head movements
Nice to see Jack Torrence in Psycho Staring Mode as your gunner!
welp Chester didn't bail!! so there is that. Another awesome video. Great work multiple kills and you made it home.
These have become my favourite videos of late. If you could get someone to fight you one on one on this (or rise of flight) I'd be super happy. It'd be interesting to compare the planes in action.
Awesome WW1 and WW2 content! Thanks for the hard work.
Honestly I wanna fly one of these. Looks super easy from the sheer amount of FLOAT. Also the fact that they had to cover their faces to prevent the “absolutely BRUTAL laxative” from making them shit themselves is hilarious while being horrible.
Pleeaaaaase please please keep doing these. I fkn love WW1 aviation and I’m loving this. Also see if you could do a camel or SE5 gameplay vid😍 Those are amazing aircraft
Great Video as usual. I have the original Rise of Flight version and use TrackIR, but the VR looks amazing. Flying a kite is being generous, more like a plastic bag in a gale lol.
I see you too have tried to land an Se-5A in decent wind...
If you get a chance, you gotta give FC a shot in VR. RoF was good, but they're porting everything over to FC and have mentioned plans for new planes like the Snipe.
Good point on the castor oil. I used to volunteer at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in NY where there was several original rotary engine WWI planes. It does cause that laxative issue for the pilots. Thankfully i never was around it for hours on end like the pilots in the war did. Also the scarfs were made of silk and primarily helped keep the pilots necks from getting rubbed raw by constantly looking around for enemy.
Second gunner seemed like a good idea from the outside, but from the inside seems like good visibility is even more important.
2nd gunner also means alot more weight, and the Bristol was a fighter so it needed to be nimble
The biplane layout provided important structural support for the wings, which in the early days was more important than visibility. With a bit of practice, you get used to where to look and how to wiggle the plane to check your blind spots. The second person was usually referred to as the observer, and they would operate the camera for photo reconnaissance, radio telegraph for artillery observation and fire correction, and the gun was mostly a secondary duty.
Always had a soft spot for the F2b. It turned into an effective fighter once pilots flew it as you did (i.e., as a fighter first) and let the tail gunner do his thing keeping your tail clean.
one of the other reasons for the scarfs and jackets was because of the cold air. The temperature drops the higher up you get, add to that wind chill because of the wind, and also rain.
No way
5:25 Me: what do you mean service pistol, it's not like he's gonna surv.... Oh... Damn.
Amazing simulation, nice flying too, thx.
The detail on that plane is amazing.
A bit of Courage, a patch of Silk, and all the Castor Oil you can shite yourself with... 0~o Sounds like a simply smashing good time was had by all... ^~^
Sorry mate, but I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. Ya gotta luv Uncle Chester though, what a bloke. LOL I remember as a kid, my parents making us take a teaspoon of Caster Oil before bed. The stuff takes like crap and thus makes you crap your pants. Ah yes, growing up in the late 1950's.
LOL, Jester's grandfather.
Happy you made it back alive. What an adventure!
If you’re looking for bad odds, try Wm Barker’s VC fight: one Snipe versus 15+ enemy including D-VIIs.
Just reminded me of the fact that they never added a Snipe to Rise of Flight. I hope they'll do it with FC eventually.
10:08: Chester… more like Winchester! Your boy is out of ammo
Such a refreshing and fun video. Thanks gs
Nice...good to see you actually make it home in one of these WWI fights! Definitely put a hurting on the Germans for sure!!!
Keep em coming!!!!
Jester's grandfather had a pretty mustache.
Curiosity always gets the better of me when I see a furball like this, like a moth to the flame
I got flying circus today, had my first vr flight ever, my first vr dogfight, and my first vr midair collision, followed by my first vr deathspiral to the ground.
I then took a break and went back to using a head tracker for the time being.
What vr headset were you using? How was the vr headset when playing vs ir tracker?
@@gregc6535 using the quest 2 with link cable, had no issues using it, main difference with head tracker is being able to see the keyboard for binds(most of my stuff is bound to hotas anyway)
vr is much more immersive, the plane seems so much bigger and its much easier to use sights, the only down side is identifying thing super far away but you can bind a zoom key for that.
Omfg i spit my fucking pop all over room lmfao i havent watched all your videos but the start of this 1 is epic
Honestly this looks like a movie! Insane and beautiful I love it@
This guys hilarious. First vid ive seen of you. Subbed
lol welcome to the channel brother.
Hopefully it was a "Blighty" wound you got there. Thanks so much for these amazing videos....you're tempting me to rush off and buy a VR headset now.
The Bristol fighter, my favorite in Rise of Flight, online with a friend on the gunners seat, good times.
Great video with a little history and humor.
Nice! Love all the different content....
Beaver(Castor) Spray all over the face! LOL. Can't make this shit up... I can hear you all yell "Ohhhh Grow UP!". NOOOO! ;)
really really enjoying the WW1 VR videos.
Looks like Danny Kaye with a false 'tache in the back seat.
Loving these WWI VR vids!
Watching this WW1 content is fascinating. You can get a feel for how personal and chaotic it was for those pilots. Of course he was a buffoon but Hermann Goring used to chastise WW2 pilots for their tactics but you can kind of see how different it was.
There's nothing quite like a WWI furball. It's incredible to watch, far more intense than pretty much any other scenario I've seen.
Well, at least Chester didn't bail out on you like Jester has done lol.
Castor oil was, indeed, the old-school laxative. I doubt that getting some to the face was that big an issue. The bigger issue was the oil getting on the goggles and impairing the pilot's view. Between the cold temperatures at altitude, the scarves helped keep the neck (and sometimes face) warm while allowing freedom of movement, and the scarf was used to wipe the engine-oil spray off their own goggles.
Excellent flying. 👍👍👍👍👍
This is really cool I like your content because there is a variety. Operator Drewski only does jets while you do jets and ww2 and ww1. Keep it up:)
Imagine you're in this plane, when you inhale a bunch of caster oil, making you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of a dogfight, while also having your buffoon back gunner nail you in the head with his gun several times. XD
Not that you wouldn't be crapping your pants in combat on the ground either. Vets dont' like to mention it, but it happens.
Day after day...you do what troops have done for generations...a rough sense of humor, hang out with other vets and drink alot.
Chester: "I'm authorized one 15-minute break per flight, I'm taking it right now."
That was quite the fur ball!
Love this ww1 action. more of this please
Yay more WW1, Im in love with these videos at the moment
Bradda unbelievable I can't believe how that guy sits in the back and has a free fall I would like to be that guy 808 Aloha watch your head lol
Dang it. Im convinced now. Next sale and I'll buy Flying Circus for IL-2. Can't wait for full carrer and campaign in vol.2
loving these ww1 dog fights
Nice shooting GS. Best shot in the sky.👍🏻
"Out of ammo", Chester is loading his pants!!
